Worlds Adrift Enters Limited Closed Beta, Starts At $34.99

Worlds Adrift's limited Closed Beta has begun. There are three Founder's Packs available, ranging in price from $34.99 to $64.99. Each Founder's Pack comes with a "Founder's Profile Icon" and a Capulca Mk.2 Starting Engine, with more expensive packs containing exclusive cosmetics and even a "Twitch Streamer Pack" and a chance to get your name in the game somewhere.

Perhaps the most bothersome part of the Closed Beta launch, however, is the fact that Bossa Studios has stated that copies are limited, but doesn't seem to have mentioned how many copies there are anywhere, much less included a counter that tells you how many are left. You simply have to buy now to ensure that you can get in as early as possible.

Bossa Studios co-founder Henrique Olifiers had the following to say about the announcement.

The history of multiplayer launches is bleached with the bones of games crumbling under the weight of their communities trying to log in all at once on day one, and having a terrible experience with unavailable servers for weeks afterwards. We want to take a different road instead, ensuring that every player of Worlds Adrift has the best possible first contact with the game. We'll offer the Founder’s Packs in batches throughout the closed beta period, always keeping an eye on how the game is behaving, until such time we're ready to open the doors to the entire community in the certainty that everyone will have a seamless experience with Worlds Adrift.

This might not be the best commercial approach in the short term, but it will be the best for players in the long run -- and that's what matters most for the Worlds Adrift team.

Now that the price has been unveiled, are you planning to purchase Worlds Adrift?
